Euro 2016: The Final Word

AKA a sublime chocolate box of random observations from the 2016 European Championships. Will you pull out a Turkish Delight coconut abomination or the triple caramel supreme with double cream? Why not stick in your hand and chance your arm?

Things overheard during Euro 2016

Hey look, I can see Blackpool Tower from here! — Alan Shearer in the BBC studio, Paris

Grigg would’ve scored that easily. — Everyone in Wigan town centre after any Northern Ireland player missed an opportunity, no matter how difficult.

This would have been more entertaining on Ceefax. — Anonymous on the final

Well, that gives us something to look forward to for the 2016/17 season!

Chisel Ronseal Aldi dome

Chris diablo rig also

Crisco Roman row

Milano ribald oat

Chris T. Winnall though

Ronaldinho(!)
